True, we could both be wrong... but it isn't probable. The idea that I am right because I am familiar with the information available on the issue is inductively strong. The idea that you are wrong when the information you present as basing your ideas off of is wrong is deductively valid. You...

RB gave Str mod... if your Str mod at Epic was +4 you'd need to roll an 14 (scaling to 17+ by late epic) to hit an even level (without Expertise). At Epic, on a Str Cleric, RB was giving 5-9 (5 is 16 starting stat, 9 is 16+2 racial+ED boost). Technically it could go as high as 10, but 20...

Ah, so you're just making things up then to justify your beliefs, rather then taking the statements of the devs at face value. Good to know. 8 rounds at what level of encounter? You clearly don't understand the factors involved here. 8 rounds is not inherently unreasonable, but it is...

If CharOp focused on corner cases, you'd be right. They don't, you aren't. As is always the case, the larger community that focuses on a game system knows more about it then the developers, because tens of thousands of people inevitably figure it out better then the less then a thousand that...

So.. you didn't actually read the thread then? Not that I'm surprised. Again, calling someone ignorant when they are ignorant, is not rude. At all. You're saying that me calling a tall person tall is rude. It isn't. They are tall. All discussing your opinion of my manners does is demonstrate...

Um, designers have said all the statements that I am referring to. No assumptions needed. See what ignorance does?

It is a power from an Epic Destiny. >.> The rest of the ED is very strong though.

Um, you're threatening to report me because pointing out you're objectively wrong, this is math not opinion, and are therefore ignorant of the relevant factors, because you are, and I'm being rude? Riiiiight. It isn't an insult to tell someone who is saying 2+2=5 they are ignorant of math. If...

It wasn't, we have public statements from devs to that effect. And your RB analogy is fundamentally flawed because RB had to hit first. It in no way compensated for not having Expertise, because of the Clerics low chance of applying it (particularly at Epic). I would encourage you to educate...

Back when Dragon released articles one by one and then in a compiled issue that was actually the rules, this happened. CharOp always had a thread on each article, and pointed out stuff that needed to be reworded/fixed/etc. You'll note a decline in the overall quality since they stopped...

Again, you're objectively wrong. I have an objective base. You don't. You're basing your opinion purely on anecdotal experience while simultaneously making the argument that groups can compensate for the problem. Yet it somehow isn't occurring to you that your group has somehow compensated for...

You're objectively wrong. The hit percent was calculated based on how many rounds, on average, encounters should take (during playtesting they occasionally had encounters last 14+ rounds). Based on E/E+1/E+2/etc. Without Expertise the correct number of rounds are flat out not achievable in...

CB is not a rules source, and that is the only place it appears as an Encounter power. In the source material, which is always correct, it is not a power. Welcome to go look it up in either the PHB or the RC. So, again "No, not a power."

No, not a power.

You have no idea what you're talking about. The community at Charop isn't like that at all (hell, the forum has a very nice sticky explaining what CharOp is about and it mentions this bizarre misconception and then laughs at it.)

I was at Gencon. I don't have a recording of it, someone might. Tony: That makes a lot of sense. You'd have to ask a Dev, I couldn't get them to tell me when I asked (though it wouldn't fix the NAD issue... I think the reason Masterwork armors have a bonus to NADs is actually for that, but...

History Gencon 2008, Developer Q&A panel: "We want 55% to be the absolute minimum possible to hit a PC can have vs even level." So 16 stat vs NADs (4 vs 13 NAD average), 16 stat+2 prof vs AC (6 vs 15 AC average). We're good. Community: Wait... as we level up we slowly lose to hit, we're not...

Actually according to the latest podcast you can't take non-triggered free actions inside other actions (this literally means it is impossible to interrupt speech in 4e without a power that says "Trigger: Someone won't shut up.") Which is retarded, but hey.

PHB equipment section. It is a "Large" weapon for a "Large" creature. The mechanical effect of which is that the die increases by one size. Close Bursts get bigger since you have a larger origin. Your vertical reach increases since technically you are a 2x2x2 cube. There are no inherent...

Actually size doesn't inherently increase reach. Many large creatures still have a melee touch range of 1. You do get an upgraded damage die though. Items: Boots of Striding +1 Item Bonus when wearing light or no armor. Boots of Striding and Springing +1 Item bonus when wearing light or no...
